2007 CHRYSLER 300 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

MY CARS ELECTRIC CONTROL THROTTLE WARNING SIGNAL CAME ON. MY CAR WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE ON A SUNNY DAY AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND ALSO THE WARNING LIGHT FOR NO TRACTION AND I HAVE NEW TIRES. THE IGNITION SOMETIMES FAULT WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR. *TR

CAR IS STALLING ALL THE TIME. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS ! I BELIEVE IT IS VERY INAPPROPRIATE FOR 100,000 CUSTOMERS TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER NOT RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW AGAIN !!!! *TR

I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM UP UNDER THE HOOD. I THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE VEHICLE BESIDE ME SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THE NOISE STOPPED. I STARTED MY VEHICLE AGAIN AND HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. SO I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, RAISED THE HOOD AND OBSERVED COOLANT ON THE VEHICLE'S FRAME AND ON THE GROUND. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND THAT ONE OF THE TWO COOLING FANS SEPARATED AND PUNCTURED THE RADIATOR IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. I LEARNED OF A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE BUT CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS STATING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE SPECIFICALLY STIPULATED IN THE RECALL OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE. *TR

I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR SIX AND A HALF YEARS NOW. AT TIMES THE CAR JUST LOSES POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING OR WHAT THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE. IT HAPPENS IN GOOD WEATHER (DRY ROADS) AND BAD WEATHER (WET SNOWY ROADS). IT'S HAPPENED BOTH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES TO DATE. AT TIMES THE CAR SLOWS TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN TAKES OFF AGAIN. AT TIMES IT HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I'VE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT'S FINE. LATELY WHEN IT HAPPENS IF I PRESS THE GAS PETAL REPEATEDLY THE CAR WILL TAKE OFF AGAIN AND BE FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT COME ON. I'VE TAKEN...

WE HAD PURCHASED A CHRSYLER 300 IN JAN 20,2007 WE GOT THE CAR WITH ONLY 42 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE 2007 THE CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP OF THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES. IN MAY OF 2007 WE TOOK THE CAR IN CAUSE THE A/C WAS NOT COOLING AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT WE NEEDED A BRAND NEW A/C COMPRESSOR SO WE SAID OK BUT WHEN THEY FIXED IT WE HAD TO PAY 650 DOLLARS CAUSE OUR WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT SO WE SAID WHAT ABOUT THE FACTORY WARRANTY THEY SAID NO ALSO SO THAT ONE WAS TIME. SECOND ONE WAS IN 2008 SHIFTER CABLE BUSTED AND THE DEALER SHIP TOLD US THAT THE CABLE GOT HOT AND IT BUSTED OK WE DIDN'T PAY FOR THAT BUT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE NEW SHIFTER THEY INSTALLED CAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE SHIFTER WAS BROKEN I...

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 AND I'VE HAD IT FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. I ADMIT I DO DRIVE FREQUENTLY BUT I KEEP MY VEHICLES IN GREAT CONDITION. I HAVE 52,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND MY ENGINE HAS GONE OUT. HOW IT HAPPENED I BELIEVE IT HAD TO BE A LEMON FROM THE START,SAD TO SAY I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE AND I DON'T HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY .I WONDER WHAT POSSIBLY CAN I HAVE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. IN FEBRUARY OF 2008, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE MOTOR SUSTAINED MORE THAN $2,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. A FEW PISTONS WERE REPLACED AND OTHER REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. IN JULY OF 2004, THE CONTACT BEGAN HEARING A TICKING SOUND AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN FOR WHAT SHE BELIEVES TO BE THE SAME FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

MY CHRYSLER 300 IS 1.5 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 18,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP (DEALERSHIP) TWICE FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS. THIS LATEST ONE IS LIFE-THREATENING. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY JUST STOPS. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOOSES POWER AND COASTS TO A STOP. NO WARNING. THE ENGINE DIES AND STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. I JUST SPOKE TO THE SERVICE REP AND HE SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. THIS CAR IS A REAL HAZARD AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR
